        If we start to use Biocomposite PHB or Zeoform in less than a decade the plastic would disappear. But ofc, companies don't want it

        I think the approach governments cd use is to give producers of plastic an alternative to their income n a grace period to stop production

        We really need to develop more bioplastic that degrade quickly in the environment and recycle or turn old plastic items into crafts.
